New Issue of IJRL

It never fails, as soon as I post a listing of the latest journal issues, then another one pops up! This time it's IJRL:

International Journal of Refugee Law, vol. 20, no. 4 (Dec. 2008) [contents]
- Includes articles on country guidance and asylum in the UK; the responsibility to protect; risk and fear in RSD; the application of the cessation clauses in Australia; and housing rights for asylum seekers in Ireland.

Additional resources relating to the "responsibility to protect" standard:
